Vulnerability from github – Published: 2025-04-16 15:34 – Updated: 2025-11-03 21:33In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: nft_tunnel: fix geneve_opt type confusion addition
When handling multiple NFTA_TUNNEL_KEY_OPTS_GENEVE attributes, the parsing logic should place every geneve_opt structure one by one compactly. Hence, when deciding the next geneve_opt position, the pointer addition should be in units of char *.
However, the current implementation erroneously does type conversion before the addition, which will lead to heap out-of-bounds write.
